(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Fred Harper. Kostyal selects fifty rules of conduct from young Washington's personal journal that remain appropriate for today's youth; categories include table etiquette, decorum, hygiene, and integrity. Each rule is written in the vernacular of Washington's Colonial era and is followed by explanatory comments and light historical information. Caricaturist Harper's comical illustrations are often grotesquely exaggerated, but they lighten the didactic tone. Websites. Bib., ind.
